Definitions
- the invention relates to the fabrication of Integrated Circuit (IC) devices and, more particularly, to a method for forming a high value poly resistor of accurate value that is required in mixed-mode configurations, that is applications where capacitors coexist with logic applications on the same Integrated Circuit.
- the developments in the semiconductor industry have, similar to developments in many other industries, been driven by improved semiconductor device performance at reduced cost.
- the semiconductor industry serves and addresses the data processing industry (computers and the like) and a significant number of peripheral applications (video games and the like) in the entertainment industry. What these applications have in common is that data is handled in digital form and that the functions that are performed by the semiconductor devices are functions of data manipulation or functions of data storage.
- the former category of functions is also referred to as logic functions, the latter category as memory functions. Since these functions are of a different nature, they have typically been provided by semiconductor devices that address either the logic function or the storage functions but not both simultaneously. This does not imply that no semiconductor device was ever created that did not incorporate both functions.
- capacitors form a basic component of many of these analog circuits that are used for analog applications such as switched capacitor filters. It is well known in the art that capacitors are widely applied in digital applications such as the storage node for Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) circuits. This ability of capacitors to function in either the digital or the analog mode is referred to as the mixed mode application of the capacitor.
- DRAM Dynamic Random Access Memory
- the layer of silicide is formed by the deposition of a layer of reactive metal, such as titanium or cobalt, over the surface of silicon (substrate) where the layer of silicide needs to be formed.
- the reactive metal is annealed with the underlying silicon forming silicides such as TiSi 2 over the regions where low resistance electrical contact must be established.
- a resistive load component can, in its simplest form, be created by sandwiching a lightly doped layer of polysilicon between two points of electrical contact. To the points of electrical contact can be connected for instance metal of polysilicon interconnect lines or interconnect lines that are created by N+ diffusion (thereby forming low resistance interconnect lines).
- the sandwiched layer of poly serves as a resistor, which typically has a high resistive value.
- Increased N+ dopant concentration in the poly will decrease the resistive value of the poly
- another parameter that can be used to manipulate the resistive value is by the selection of the cross section of the layer of poly in a plane that is essentially perpendicular to the flow of current through the layer of poly. An increased surface area of the cross section will decrease the value of the resistance and visa versa.
- the resistor load is applied to the SRAM, the resistor must make electrical contact with the gate electrode and the drain region of the pull-down transistor as well as to the metal line to pass gate transistor.
- a resistor tab that makes contact with the gate and the drain regions can be created by depositing dopants at the interfaces between these regions and the resistive load.
- the light doping of the poly determines the resistive value of the resistive load
- the resistive load is interconnected to the surrounding components by means of a high dope implant on either side of the resistor for which a doping mask is used.
- the resistive load has a high value of ohmic resistance.
- the value of this ohmic resistance must further be within tight limits; the ohmic resistance must also remain within these tight limits when creating the resistive load within a manufacturing environment and over an extended period of time.
- POCl 3 is used as a dopant for the polysilicon of the resistive load; this dopant however exhibits a significant amount of lateral diffusion making exact control of the resistive value of the load resistance very difficult to achieve.
- the blanket implant methodology that is used to establish the interconnect points for the resistive load also does not lend itself to tight implant control due to the fact that a lower thermal budget with high implant energy is used for this implant.
- the implant mask used during this process further does not accurately define the resistive load.
- a method must therefore be provided that allows better control of the resistive value of the load resistor while at the same time allowing for tight control of the design parameters that determine the interconnect of the resistive load.
- US 5,866,451 shows a process for a mixed mode capacitor with a SRAM and poly resistor.
- US 6,069,036 discloses a semiconductor device wherein a resistor, a lower plate of an analog capacitor and a gate electrode of a MOS transistor are simultaneously formed over a substrate where an isolation film is formed. Junction region are formed at both sides of the gate in the substrate.
- a dummy gate electrode over the resistor where a first insulating layer is arranged between the resistor and the dummy gate electrode and an upper plate over the lower plate where a second insulating layer is arranged between the lower and upper plates, are simultaneously formed.
- a metal silicide layer is then formed over the dummy gate electrode, the resistor, the gate electrode, the junction regions and the lower and upper plates of the analog capacitor.
- US 5,527,722 discloses a semiconductor device with a high-voltage portion including NMOS transistor and PMOS transistor and a low-voltage portion including NMOS transistor and PMOS transistor .
- the high-voltage NMOS transistor includes source/drain regions having N- regions that are self-ailgned with a gate and N+ regions ) that are self-aligned with sidewall spacers formed on sidewalls of the gate to improve reliability under continuous high voltage operating conditions.
- the low voltage NMOS transistor includes source/drain regions that are self-aligned with sidewall spacers to permit channel lengths to be scaled to less than 2 microns.
- the low-voltage PMOS transistor and high-voltage PMOS transistor include source/drain regions that are selfaligned with sidewall spacer extension regions formed over sidewall spacers permitting low-voltage PMOS transistor channel lengths to be scaled to less-than 2 microns.
- a principle objective of the invention is to provide a method for the creation of a high value polysilicon resistor load component.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a method for the creation of a high value polysilicon resistor load component whereby the ohmic value of the resistor load is within tight limits.
- Yet another objective of the invention is to provide a method for the creation of a high value polysilicon resistor load whereby the ohmic value of the resistor load does not vary within the sequential creation in a manufacturing environment of successive resistor load components.
- a still further objective of the invention is to avoid lateral diffusion during the creation of a resistive load component.
- a new method is provided, as defined in independent claim 1 for the creation of a resistive load in a semiconductor device whereby the semiconductor device further contains gate electrodes and a capacitor.
- the resistive load is created using the concept of a self-alignment resistor mask.
- the active areas in the surface of a substrate are defined with field isolation regions; a thin layer of gate oxide is created over these active regions.
- the process starts with the deposition of a layer of poly 2 (no layer of poly 1 is used), this poly 2 is used for the gate electrode, for the bottom plate of the adjacent capacitor and for the resistor of high ohmic value.
- the gate poly is doped; optionally the bottom plate of the capacitor can be doped.
- a dielectric layer is deposited for the dielectric of the capacitor; a layer of poly 3 is deposited, patterned and etched to form the capacitor top plate.
- the capacitor (dielectric and bottom plate), poly gates and the load resistor are patterned; the LDD regions for the poly gates are created.
- the (gate, capacitor, resistor) spacers are formed, a key point of the invention is that during the etch of the spacers a resistive spacer (called spacer since it serves to space or separate the two contact points of the resistor) is formed over the surface of the (poly 2) resistor.
- the source/drain implants are performed thereby concurrently performing (self-aligned, due to the resistor spacer) implants for the contact regions of the resistor. All contacts (gate poly, source/drain and two contact points on the resistor) are salicided to achieve lower contact resistance.
- Fig. 1 there is shown a cross section of the semiconductor substrate 10 after the definition of the active regions, the formation of gate oxide, the deposition of a layer of poly 2 and the implant for the poly gate.
- Field Oxide regions are used to electrically isolate the discrete devices, such as Field Effect Transistors (FETs), in ULSI circuits on semiconductor chips that are formed from silicon substrate.
- FETs Field Effect Transistors
- One conventional approach in the semiconductor industry for forming field isolation is by the Local Oxidation of Silicon (LOCOS) method.
- LOCOS uses a patterned silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) as an oxidation barrier mask, the silicon substrate is selectively oxidized to form the semi-planar isolation.
- this method requires long oxidation times (thermal budget) and lateral oxidation under the barrier mask limits the minimum spacing between adjacent active device areas, and therefore prevents further increase in device packaging density.
- One method of circumventing the LOCOS limitations and to further reduce the field oxide (FOX) minimum features size is to allow shallow trench isolation (STI).
- STI shallow trench isolation
- One method of making STI is to first etch trenches having essentially vertical sidewalls in the silicon substrate. The trenches are then filled with a CVD of silicon oxide (SiO 2 ) and the SiO 2 is then plasma etched back or polished back using CMP, to form the FOX isolation region. It is desirable to make FOX areas that extend higher than the substrate surface to avoid problems of recesses in the field oxide at the edge of the device areas.
- the FOX regions 12 can typically be grown by patterning a composite insulator, oxidation mask that contains an overlying layer of silicon nitride and an underlying layer of silicon dioxide.
- the patterning of this layer is accomplished via conventional photolithography exposure follower by Reactive Ion Etching (RIE).
- RIE Reactive Ion Etching
- the photoresist that is used for the patterning is removed via plasma oxygen ashing, the surface is wet cleaned and the thick layer of FOX is grown in the regions of the silicon substrate that are not covered with the composite insulator oxidation mask.
- the composite insulator oxidation mask is then removed by using hot phosphoric acid for the removal of the silicon nitride layer and buffered hydrofluoric acid solution for the removal of the underlying layer of silicon
- the layer 14 of gate oxide is next grown over the surface of the substrate at a temperature between 800 and 1000 degrees C in a steam oxygen ambient to a thickness of between 50 to 300 Angstrom.
- the poly 2 layer 16 is next blanket deposited by using Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) at a temperature between 500 and 700 degrees C. to a thickness between 1000 and 5000 Angstrom, and preferably between 2000 and 3000 Angstrom.
- LPCVD Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition
- the poly 2 layer is used to form the gate poly, the bottom plate of the capacitor and the body of the load resistor.
- An N+ implant is performed into layer 16 of poly 2, this implant forms the conductivity level of the NMOS poly gate. During this implant, the PMOS region in the layer of poly 2 is masked with a photoresist mask 13.
- the layer 16 of poly 2 is in this manner doped (18) with phosphorous ions at a dosage of between 4E14 and 2E15 atoms/cm 2 with an energy of between 50 and 100 KeV resulting in a N+ poly gate structure.
- the ion implant to create PMOS devices is doping the layer 16 with indium or boron ions at a dosage of between 4E14 and 2E15 atoms/cm 2 with an energy of between 10 and 50 KeV.
- the step as shown in Fig. 2 is an optional step.
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section after this (optional) implant for the bottom plate of the capacitor.
- Capacitor mask 20 of photoresist is used to define the capacitor bottom plate.
- the implant 24 of the poly 2 layer 16 is an arsenic or phosphorous implant with a dopant concentration of between 1.2E20 and 2.8E20 atoms/cm 2 at an energy between 30 and 100 KeV.
- the optional implant that is shown in Fig. 2 depends on the value of the load resistance that is being created whereby a resistance of higher value requires this capacitor implant in order to improve the capacitive conductivity relative to the resistivity of the created load resistor.
- the sheet resistance of the poly layer 16 is typically less than 100 ohm/cm 2 while the sheet resistance for the load resistor is typically required to be in excess of 1 Kohm/cm 2 .
- the bottom plate of the capacitor therefore needs more doping, the load resistor in the other hand is not critically dependent on specific doping parameters and conditions.
- Fig. 3 shows a cross section after the deposition of a layer of dielectric for the capacitor and the deposition and patterning of a layer of poly 3 for the top plate of the capacitor.
- Layer 24 is a layer of LPCVD silicon dioxide using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as a source at a temperature between 600 and 750 degrees C. to a thickness of between 100 and 1000 Angstrom.
- TEOS tetraethylorthosilicate
- the poly 3 layer 26 is blanket deposited by using Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) at a temperature between 500 and 700 degrees C. to a thickness between 1000 and 5000 Angstrom, and preferably between about 2000 and 3000 Angstrom.
- Poly 3 layer 26 is in-situ doped using LPCVD at a temperature between about 530 and 600 degrees C. to a thickness between 1000 and 5000 angstrom using SiH 4 and PH 3 as the dopant gas.
- the poly 3 layer is used to form the top plate of the capacitor.
- the capacitor mask 28 is used to expose (using conventional process of photolithography) and subsequently etch the layer 26 of polysilicon thereby forming the top plate (not shown in Fig.
- Polysilicon layer 26 can be etched by exposing the layer to oxygen or oxygen-plasma at high temperatures (over 100 degrees C.). Polysilicon can also be etched using RIE or a high plasma density using an etchant gas having a high selectivity of poly to oxide, such as a gas containing clorine (Cl) species. Techniques are also known in the art whereby polysilicon can be etched using SF 6 , SiO 2 and Si 3 N 4 with a fluorocarbon.
- Fig. 4 shows a cross section patterning of the poly gates, the dielectric and the lower plate of the capacitor and the resistive load component.
- Resistor mask 30 defines the load resistor
- gate mask 32 defines the gate structure for a NMOS device
- capacitor mask 34 defines the dielectric and the lower plate of the capacitor
- gate mask 36 defines the gate structure for a PMOS device.
- Conventional processes of photolithography expose layer 26 (of poly 3) and layer 24 (of TEOS) thereby forming the respective elements of the device as indicated.
- the layer 16 of poly 2 is removed from the exposed areas thereby essentially leaving the poly 2 layers for the resistor, the gate electrodes and the capacitor in place. The contours of these elements are shown in Fig. 5 .
- Fig. 5 shows a cross section after the LDD implant for the gate electrodes and the formation of the gate spacers, a spacer for the load resistive is formed concurrent with the formation of the gate spacers.
- the LDD implants of the invention use small doses of implanted impurities in order to avoid any adverse affects on the value of the load resistor that is being formed.
- the step after the gate electrode has been completed is the formation of self-aligned Lightly Doped Diffusion (LDD) regions adjacent to the gate electrode and adjacent to the regions of field oxide (for instance region 47 of N- polarity). These regions of LDD implant are (N-) regions 47, 48 and 50 and (P-) regions 68 and 70.
- LDD Lightly Doped Diffusion
- the LDD regions 48 and 50 are formed by a self-aligned implant of N-type dopant in the source/drain regions in the substrate, this is a first phase in forming the substrate N+ source/drain regions of the MOSFET.
- the LDD regions 68 and 70 are formed by a self-aligned implant of P-type dopant in the source/drain regions in the substrate, this is a first phase in forming the substrate P- source/drain regions of the MOSFET.
- a second N+/P+ implant is performed to set the conductivity of the gate regions to a desired level and to complete the N+/P+ source/drain regions. Titanium is then deposited on the exposed upper surfaces of the N+/P+ source/drain regions and the polysilicon gate region ard annealed, thereby causing the titanium to react with the underlying N+/P+ silicon of the substrate source/drain regions and the doped polysilicon gate to form titanium salicide on these surfaces.
- LDD regions 47, 48, 50, 68, 70
- the forming of LDD regions (47, 48, 50, 68, 70) for source and drain regions of the gate electrodes is based on the use of arsenic with an energy between 1 to 10 KeV and a dose between 1e14 to 1e16 atoms/cm 2 or on the use of phosphorous with an energy between about 10 to 50 KeV and a dose between 1e12 to 5e13 atoms/cm 2 .
- the forming of LDD regions for source and drain regions of the gate electrodes is based on the use of indium with an energy between 1 to 10 KeV and a dose between 1e14 to 1e16 atoms/cm 2 or one the use of boron with an energy between about 5 to 40 keV and a dose between 1e12 to 5e13 atoms/cm 2
- a layer 38, Fig. 5 , of poly 2 has remained in place after the process of patterning and etching of the layer 16 of poly 2 as highlighted under Fig. 4 .
- This layer 38 is, during the formation of the LDD regions as indicated above, also subjected to dopant injection and, as a consequence, becomes an N- doped layer of poly 2. It is clear that the dopant used and the density of the dopant used determine the value of the resistor after the process of doping has been completed.
- phosphorous or boron can be used as dopants at a dosage of between 1E13 and 3E14 atoms/cm 2 and an energy of between 30 and 60 KeV.
- This level of doping results in a resistance value of between 1 and 500 gigaohm and depends or the requirements of the application of the resistor in the device functionality.
- the LDD regions adjacent to the NMOS gate electrode 40 must be N- doped and must therefore be doped using phosphorous (or arson) as the dopant and under the processing conditions that have been indicated above.
- the LDD regions adjacent to the PMOS gate electrode 46 must be P- doped and must therefore be doped using boron or indium as the dopant and under the processing conditions that have been indicated above.
- Fig. 5 shows that, at this point in the discussion, the poly gate electrode structures 40 (NMOS) and 46 (PMOS) have been formed as well as the capacitor bottom plate 42, the capacitor dielectric 43 and the capacitor top plate 44. Further has been formed the load resistor 38, all of the structures having been formed on the surface of substrate 10. I-DD regions (N- regions 47, 48 and 50 and P-regions 68 and 70) have been implanted self-aligned with the gate structures and adjacent to the regions 12 of field oxide.
- the next processing steps is the formation of the spacers on the sidewall of these structures, that is spacers 52 on the sidewalls of the load resistor, spacers 56 on the sidewalls of the NMOS gate electrode 40, spacers 54 on the sidewalls of the capacitor layers and spacers 58 on the sidewalls of the PMOS gate electrode structure 46.
- Typical gate spacer materials are silicon nitride, silicon oxide, BSG, PSG, polysilicon, other materials preferably of a dielectric nature and CVD oxide formed from a TEOS source. Often used are amorphous materials that inhibit the deposition of epitaxial silicon thereupon.
- Forming a gate spacer comprises, for instance, the thermally growing, grown in an oxygen steam ambient at a temperature between 850 and 1000 degrees C. and to a thickness of 50 to 200 Angstrom, of a thin oxide on the sides of said gate electrode using a short dry-oxidation process whereupon a conformal CVD oxide film is deposited by decomposing TEOS at between 600 and 750 degrees C. followed by an anisotropic dry etch thereby leaving the gate spacers on the sidewalls of the gate electrodes.
- Another method of forming gate spacers is by a process including a substantially conformal deposition within the trench of a spacer of material that is selected from the group consisting of nitride, oxide, BSG, PSG and any combination thereof, and a subsequent, substantial anisotropic etch of this spacer material.
- the load resistor spacer 60 is formed on the surface of the body 52 of the load resistor by using the resistor block mask 62.
- the purpose of spacer 60 is to separate (or space) the contacts of the load resistor 52 as will become apparent during the subsequent discussion.
- the load resistor spacer is therefore formed using the same materials as previously indicated for the spacers 52, 56, 54 and 58; the spacer 60 is typically formed to a thickness of between 1500 and 4000 Angstrom.
- Fig. 6 shows the completion of the (N+) source 64 and (N+) drain 66 regions of the NMOS gate electrode 40, the (P+) source 68 and (P+) drain 70 regions of the PMOS gate electrode 46, as well as concurrent N+ implant of the contact regions 72 and 74 of the load resistor 38.
- the N+ polarity type implants are based on arsenic or phosporous at a dose of between 2.0E14 and 1.0E16 atoms/cm 2 and an energy of between about 30 and 100 KeV.
- the P-polarity type implants are based on boron or indium at a dose of between 1.0E15 and 1.0E16 atoms/cm 2 and an energy of between 50 and 90 KeV.
- the latter implant is done at the same time as the previously detailed N+ implant of the source 64 and drain 66 regions of the NMOS gate electrodes 40 making regions 72 and 74 low resistance N+ regions. It must also be pointed out that the N+ implant into the contact regions 72 and 74 of the load resistance 38 is spaced by the spacer 60, the implant is therefore self-aligned with the resistance. This approach therefore eliminates the use of the contact mask implant that has been required in typical applications where an extra mask is needed for the implant of the N+ resistor contacts.
- the surfaces where these contacts must be made are then salicided, that is the top surfaces of regions 72 and 74 and the surfaces of the source/drain regions (64/66 and 68/70), the surface of the gate electrodes (40 and 46) and the top (44) and bottom plate (42) of the capacitor.
- This process of salicidation is, as previously indicated, performed by the deposition of a layer of reactive metal, such as titanium or cobalt, over the surfaces where the layer of silicide needs to be formed.
- the reactive metal is annealed with the underlying layer (of poly 2, silicon or TEOS) forming silicides such as TiSi 2 over the regions where the (low resistance) electrical contact must be established.
- the annealing is performed in a temperature between 600 and 700 degrees C. for a time of between 20 and 40 seconds and then a rapid thermal annealing in a temperature of between 800 and 900 degrees C. for a time between 20 and 40 seconds.
- Fig. 7 shows a cross section of a detailed view of the load resistor. Most of the elements that are shown in this cross section have previously been discussed, remains to be pointed out the deposition of a layer 78 of Intra Level Dielectric (ILD). This layer has been patterned and etched to establish contact points with regions 72 and 74 of the load resistor, a layer of metal has been deposited over the layer 78 of ILD and selectively etched to remove the metal from above the layer of ILD in order to avoid electrical shorts between the contact regions 72 and 74 of the load resistor 38. A final process of polishing the surface of the layer 76 of metal completes the creation of the load resistor in the device environment that has been selected for the subject description as an example of a load resistor application.
